1. now i need to know about how does undergraduate law programs work. in some places i hear that you can have whatever type of undergrad BA degree and still go to a top law school. true?
2.also i would like to go join the military also, ROTC, so if i was to join ROTC can i still go to law school or become a lawyer? I still want to learn alot about law but what if i take something like islamic studies and military strategy, can i still be a lawyer?

1. Your undergraduate degree does not matter that much, it's your grades that are the key element. You do want to get some experience in law, though. Try interning for a judge for a summer. You'll probably be working for free but it looks incredible on an application and it's good to decide whether you really want to go into law.
2. As was said above, you can go to law school after joining the military and having them pay for it. You can also apply to work as a JAG (military lawyer), and that's much easier to get a job in if you actually have military experience.

Law schools don't particularly want political science; they'd rather see mathematics, philosophy, English or accounting. You must do VERY well both in grades (with rigorous coursework) and the LSAT in order to get in.
I know someone who went into the military as an officer, and is doing law school on the military's dime. He will then owe about four years of service. So it can be done either way.
